That’s a wrap for Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix, as the network has chose to end the show’s run after three seasons. The news comes just under a month since the streaming service aired the show’s third (and final) season. While the show seems very popular with viewers and critics alike, boasting a perfect 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it apparently just wasn’t enough to bring the series back for a Season 4.
Netflix further confirmed the news in an official statement.
“The world had never known a ‘zom-com’ until Santa Clarita Diet, and we’re indebted to creator Victor Fresco for bringing this idea to Netflix. To their endless credit, the incredible Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant were totally game, with an uncanny knack for comedy that brought Sheila and Joel Hammond to vibrant life, even though one of them was undead. We’re grateful to Victor, Drew, and Timothy, along with fellow executive producers Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan, Chris Miller and Ember Truesdell and the terrific cast, including Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo, and crew for three hilarious seasons for Netflix members to discover for years to come.”
Santa Clarita Diet first premiered on Netflix in 2017, starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as married real estate agents Sheila and Joel Hammond. Their marriage is put to the test when Sheila transforms into a zombie, developing a taste for people. The pair are tasked with keeping Sheila’s condition hidden from the public while figuring out ways to keep her “fed.” It’s just as bloody as it is hilarious, and the ride was fun for fans while it lasted.
